I wanted one (or rather, a freesync monitor) but I couldn't justify the cost over buying a new videocard. So I just bought a 144Hz display for less than half the price of a freesync/g-sync one.

I'm not too bothered by tearing frames so I generally play with vsync off. So far I've been really happy with the new monitor but I also happily live in bliss having never seen what g-sync actually looks like. Maybe it's magical, but I'm better off not knowing until prices come down.

I don't understand how anyone can play games with screen tearing. Its so jarring.

IPS Panel but it's 1440p - I'm not sure if G-Sync only runs in the native resolution. It's the case for the Asus ROG Swift monitor.

I'm seriously considering this monitor. My new PC will having a GTX Titan X. I'm just worried about the framerate in games in Witcher 3 at ultra at that res then again that is the point of G-sync.

Don't we already have an official Gsync praise thread?

That said it's next to VR easily the most important (dare I say revolutional?) tech evolution we have seen in a long time. GTA5 with Gsync is amazing.

I always went with it over vsync as I cannot stand input lag. Got used to tearing, I suppose.

I mean, I'll still notice it's there, but it won't bother me the same way a slight delay in my mouse inputs will.

well there is this

Mother of god.

I'm now trying to convince myself that I should buy this and a 980 (the 980 has been planned for a while).

EDIT: Viewing them together in the Amazon cart...this feels right.

Really wanna get it on this instead of swapping my GTX970's for 980Ti. Guess I better start saving.

Just got a BenQ XL2420G 144hz GSYNC monitor and... man.

So effing good. Just the jump from a 60 hz to 144 hz monitor feels awesome, but finally getting to retire D3Doverrider after like 10+ years of running it is amazing.

Man, y'all should wait for the next round of videocards in the fall. That's what I'm doing. Planning on picking up a 1080 (or whatever they call it), a Gsync monitor and a VR headset in one go.
